Brrr its cold out there! We all stayed toasty and warm inside the school today and started to get ready for our winter holiday. We had a chance to do some more festive centers, sang carols in the learning commons, cleaned out our desks, and finished up our secret projects. The projects are now drying and will be ready to bring home tomorrow!
After our morning recess we had a special guest visit us in the learning commons. Her name was Kelsey and she works at the Mustard Seed. She came to tell us all about the great work that happens at the Mustard Seed and told us how much our cards would be appreciated by their guests. Before she left she gave us some tips for things we can do to help prevent people from becoming homeless and to help people who are already homeless. Here are her tips:
- Be a friend to someone who is alone at lunch or recess. Make sure people know they are not alone.
- Help your parents write a letter to your MLA to ask them to support affordable housing.
- Smile when you see a homeless person to show them kindness and respect.
- Use kind words to everyone, especially people who are homeless or who are having a tough time.
Tomorrow was supposed to be Winter Sports Day, but the weather is looking very cold and Mrs. Polski has decided to postpone Winter Sports Day until January when hopefully we will have a Friday that is still wintery but not quite so cold. Instead of Sports Day we will do some fun last day activities in the classroom including some games, a short movie, and even a special indoor snowball fight!!
